3D Origami Hearts

What’s better than a bowl full of hearts for Valentine’s Day? Nothing. And these 3D Origami Hearts are super easy to make too.

For this project, I made lots and lots of the 3D Origami Hearts out of plain white paper, brown kraft paper, and some book pages. Some of the book pages were painted with pink watercolours before I folded them, for a little bit of pretty colour.

Origami is one of those things that is easier to explain in a video than in writing, so…

I had to get brave and try something new.

And it raised all those feelings in me that I don’t like. Feelings like…I don’t know what I’m doing. It even made me a little bit grumpy.

But then my YouTube watching 11 year old daughter Paige helped me out…well basically did it for me. And she was really patient, and kind, and encouraging, and sweet.

This bowl full of hearts project, ended up reminding me what amazing hearts my home is full of. It made me so grateful for my girls, and my sweet husband, and that all the answers to my questions are on-line, and that an old dog can learn some new tricks. haha.

So, here’s our first ever Life is a Party YouTube video! (With special thanks to Paige, Maddie, and Roland)

With a bowl full of hearts for Valentine’s Day, life really is a party!

Thanks Andrea. I was kind of amazed how well she knew how to make a video, and then she had all these little tips from watching YouTube videos, it was the sweetest. You should definitely give it a try!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I love these little puffy hearts. I made origami hearts for Valentine’s Day this year and also a (girly) baby shower. Mine were the flat kind but I absolutely love these 3D ones. Good luck and God Bless you for all your future videos. <3

Hi Dannyelle my year 7 son has an origami project and I’ve been looking for great, but easy origami for him to do. I have to say not only are your hearts gorgeous, but your tutorial made them super easy! Thank you so very much.

I’m going to use these for the craft at my son’s friendship party next week! I found some really pretty wrapping paper to use from the dollar store, and I think that it will satisfy both the girls and boys in the class. Thanks for your very clear instructions! You guys made a great video! Just wondering what size your squares of paper were…

Hi Jennifer,
We used all different sizes of paper -from average paperback book size to a little larger and a little smaller. Hope this helps. Just play around with it and see what you like.
Best of luck, and I;d love to see some pictures of the party, please share over on my facebook page.
Thanks so much,
Dannyelle
